The night has passed, and the day lies open before us; let us pray with one heart and mind.
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day, so may the light of your presence, O God, set our hearts on fire with love for you; now and for ever.
O Father, as we face the impossibilities that crowd into this day we see new opportunities to boast in our weakness and discover your power. Be near us.
Grant to us the eyes and heart to see beyond ourselves and receive the gift you make others to be; to hear and see the pain in others, the work you are doing in them, and to bless the presence of your grace in them.
Comfort all who mourn. Strengthen the weak, uphold the weary, deliver the despairing, and call to yourself and your service many who do not yet know you.
Deliver us from being those who only seek to win arguments and make of us those who win others to Christ through the Gospel.
Turn us from overwhelming worry about what we possess and imagine that we need, and grant us the grace of generosity to create wealth and share wealth with others; turn us to those in need as we confess our own great need for your mercy and supply.
O Lord, our hearts and feet stray so easily. Keep us this day - and always - in the narrow way of faith, hope, and love.
As we rejoice in your peace bestowed on us in the Gospel, make us peacemakers in this strife torn, violent society. Bind our hearts and lives with others in authentic community that celebrates your beauty, and lead us home to you.
Amen.
A prayer for today:
βCause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,β¨for I trust in you.β¨Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,β¨for I lift up my soul to you.β
(Psalm 143)
